redistribution is as american as apple pie, and the idea they're trying to make obama out to be some kind of communist because of this is another pathetic last grasp of a campaign in trouble. >> john, this clip of the president is actually 96 seconds long in totality. he was speaking to a college of university students, i guess. how does that compare with 47 minutes of mr. romney speaking to his base at that fund-raising dinner? does one can sem out the other? >> i don't think it does. first of all, this was many years ago, but also it's been tried before, martin, in 2008 john mccain's whole campaign in the fall was about joe the plumber. it didn't work. so that's what indicates that there's some desperation here on mitt romney's part that they're going to this well again. it will muddy the waters. it's not clear that what i call 47-gate, the videotape, is necessarily going to be a game-changer that sews up the election for obama. that's not at all clear. it's possible that people do resent what romney basically calls moochers enough that they can squeeze some votes out of this -- >>
